Dark ruby, full of red fruits, cranberry and raspberry. Nicely balanced. #swanterrace

The darkest of the 2006-2008 flight. It is a baby, but air brought out a tomato leaf aroma and great concentration wound tightly around a structured core. Swap tomato skin for spice and it reminds me a lot of the 1998 Dujac Clos St. Denis at a similar age. Outstanding.

Most tight of the flight. Most Burgundian tho. Leaner and more rustic. I'd love to see this 5-10 years from now. Herbal notes are growing.

A very broad, ripe, sexy nose. Lovely with deep gnarly blue fruit. NSG-like. Really good
